Interesting that Shrine of the Storm is both one of the most affected and one of the least affected dungeons by this week's affixes.

Interesting that Shrine of the Storm is both one of the most affected and one of the least affected dungeons by this week's affixes. Yeah I was really wondering what's up with that. Personally I'd rather not run tyrannical shrine in general. \r\rI'm also wondering what's the line about Underrot's matrons, extra matrons on teeming were removed literally 3 days into the first teeming week (the same hotfix that had double Zul and general ridiculousness in King's Rest fixed), now the only super big packs are the 2 after first boss, whichever side you pick. Plus the entry underrot trash was nerfed a lot in the last tuning pass, including higher cd on casts and less duration on enrage buff. Also no need to rush bloodlust Leaxa now that she only ever spawns 1 clone.

Port-Liberté is "Free" loot pretty much every week with most of the affixes combo! The only limit is how much you can DPS and how bigger group of mobs your tank and healer can handle.

Nothing like Lagauras to make you perform even worse

Glad he shut down the "m+ dps" idea. You can cheese it enough for raids, m+ as he highlighted is even worst.

So is Shrine more or less affected by the affixes? It seems it shouldnt be able to be both...

You only notice Teeming on the first pack on bridge where there is one of those "Unending Darkness" !@#$%es, but bridge is usually skipped anyways.\r1\/3 affixes affect Shrine, but Tyrannical is a &*!@# even tho it's the only one affecting Shrine.

There was no way that HotS was going to steal viewers from DotA and League without significant capital investment from Blizzard, and after several years of spending (probably a lot of) money trying to jumpstart the HotS scene it was time for Blizzard to pull the plug. \r\rI've been saying that to people whenever we would discuss Blizzard Esports in general, taking HotS ( and Starcraft 2, let's be honest ) as a clear example of how "desperate" they were to try and get the game to work by injecting increasingly massive sum of money into the various championships. It's made even more obvious by the little Blizzcon stats book they put into the goodie bag of the 2018 blizzcon : each year, the HotS Grand Prize was inflating quite dramatically! They also often try to get people to play HotS by giving away prizes for their other games to people that would play a few matches.\r\rHotS is probably the only game so far they released that had people unconvinced. Blizzard failed to take advantage of the creation of DotA back in the day, but they clearly took too long to jump on the bandwagon. So it was just too late, too little, not inspired enough, too artificial. HotS was a project doomed to fail from the very moment it was created.\r\rI'm not sure where the Starcraft 2 scene stands nowdays, but when SC2 hits and the multiplayer was revealed to not be very different from SC1, I think it took a hit, too. If I remember that book correctly, Brood War even made a comeback last Blizzcon. And the release of StarCraft remastered was also in itself a clear hint.\r\rAll they really have left now would be Overwatch, WoW, and Hearthstone. Heartstone is hardly and 'esport game'. And I sure hope they aren't trying to repeat the HotS pattern with Overwatch. Despite all the fluff, I'm not sure the OW league actually turned out to be as popular as they hoped it'd be... Anyway, they should just let it go and focus on making the games rather than building up all that esport structure. Their games aren't tailored around competitivity as much as they are around accessibility, and no, they aren't very succesfull at doing both ( anymore ). Maybe their new branch in Netherlands will be successfull at reigniting the spark, but I seriously doubt it...
